<aside> ↙️ Hi, Hello! My name is Sarah - the writer behind redgregory.com.

Taken over the summer in a beautiful New England town. Meaning to go back soon. There's an incredible second-hand bookstore there. 📚
This week has been 5 days of indulgence - not particularly good indulgence but not bad either. I kicked off Monday with a Harry Potter binge. Of course, I thought I could work with it running in the background, and as per usual, I got nothing done. But hey, I got to relive my childhood for a couple days.
There's something about indulgences that seem so easy to avoid on paper but in practice might as well be rocket science. For instance, what happens if you get takeout two days in a row then receive an invite to pizza the next afternoon? Well, you get a salad ... but who really has that level of self control? Not me. Luckily, I'm pretty good at getting my health back in order and I plan on taking a superfood detox for the next 7 days.
Reflection for next week
Regardless of my rocky start, I managed to get a lot done this week toward the end and I'm happy to report redgregory.com is doing much better than I projected so soon. This is the first side hustle that I feel proud of (sappy, I know).
I talked about making wikis last week and I've been working on them everyday, however, I very much need to stray away from the "serious" subject matter. I want to make some fun wikis that aren't built to help people or used as student reference. I want to make a wiki because it's fun to make. So, why not start with Harry Potter?
It's proving to be difficult in that I take hobbies too far. We'll see ...
I wanted to share my insights and media consumed this week. I grabbed them from my journal hub which you can learn more about here.

I bought a new domain a few days ago ... I shouldn't express what it's going to be quite yet (it pains me to not write about it). It's a collaborative project with a couple very talented people.
Despite its secrecy, I want to jot down vague goals for the next week. For those trying to produce online content, this pre-launch to-do-list may offer moderate insight.
